Account Performance

[SteveB]

I've known the PnL #'s to be erroneous since I've started with NT...now I can see why.

I have the same custom strategy running in multiple charts (60min/30min/...). Closing trx on one chart (5 min) are paired with opening on another (60 min).

This is why DOM Avg Price / Control Center Strategies & Acct Performance #'s are always wrong. Sorry, they are correct before a second chart/strategy executes an order & after all trx are closed.

Is it me?

DOM, account shows the actual account position and PnL. This is accurate. Since NT allows you to run multiple strategies, each strategy holds its own position and PnL which nets out to the account position and PnL. You can't confuse the two.

I'm confused...I do not understand where you feel I'm confused.

I have tried reporting the problem in the past & I realize NT does not acknowledge there being a problem; I thought I found something that would help your realizing a problem and finding the solution.

DOM does not show accurate Avg Price...for me it never has (exept as noted below)...and everywhere that bases its PnL calc off that erroneous avg price is also wrong.

My final attempt: an example...

A Custom Strategy running on a 60 min chart goes long 1 contract @ 100; target 110; stop 95.

A Custom Strategy running on a 5 min chart goes long 1 contract @ 102; target 112; stop 97.

Price falls to 97; stop executed...

Account Performance/Trades....shows the 60 min trx getting executed

Strategies...shows the 5 min trx closed

Can you see what that does to all the PnL #s (Unrealized/Realized)...?

If the entry at 100 was first and the 102 entry second, then ANY exit fill will always be paired with 100 entry. This is how trade accounting works.

Why does the 5 min Chart and Control Center/Strategies (example below) show the correct pairing and "trade accounting" show another pairing?

See post #2. You choose to run multiple strategies on a single account/same instrument setting.
